The USSR never intended to get involved in such a conflict as the Afghan War, but the major goal was to prop up the fledgling Communist Government in that nation. The original goal was to remove (assassinate) their previously backed leader, Hafizullah Amin, who was straying from Communism. They succeeded at eliminating Amin and installing Babrak Kamal.
Obviously the Afghans did not like having the Soviet military invade their nation and take out their leader and soon the resistance began against the Soviets.
